Proverbs – Congregation Focus

A new year is upon us, 2017! What an exciting time to live as you and I could have been born at any time in history, but the Lord has chosen us for such a time as this!

As a congregation, Pastor would like for us to focus our Bible Reading on the book of Proverbs! Will you join with us as we dig into the truths found in the Word of God?

Proverbs has 31 chapters within, so reading one chapter a day will ensure you have completely read through by the end of January.

Be sure to ask the Holy Spirit to teach you through the scriptures before reading, and be sure to write down anything that stands out, things the Lord is showing you, and any exciting “trail markers” you experience along the way!

The S (Scripture) O (Observation) A (Application) P (Prayer) method of journaling is also encouraged.

Never forget that His mercies are renewed each day, and we love Him because He first loved us!

Proverbs 4:11 ” I will guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. 12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered: when you run, you will not stumble. 13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. ”

FIRST THINGS FIRST —– Getting off to the RIGHT start, The Word tells us to GET WISDOM ( Prov.4:7 ) —- The LORD has given us instruction to soak in the book of Proverbs this whole first month of the New Year. We have a whole beautiful amazing year full of Promise, Provision and Victory as we follow God’s directions and learn better how to live in real , life giving relationship with Him. The Bible is God’s love letter to His children, full of instruction so that we can be blessed with the abundant life Jesus came to give us ( John 10:10) and forewarned and avoid the pitfalls that could lead to the exact opposite of what He gave His life for. Remember in John 3:16 it says that GOD so LOVES the world ( people ) that NONE SHOULD perish, not that any just automatically won’t — HE HAS DONE ALL THAT IS NEEDED, it is up to people to CHOOSE the LIFE He has already bought and paid for that He wants us to have, both now in this time, and throughout eternity. JOSHUA 24:15, CHOOSE LIFE, it matters for you and your children. Love IN Christ Jesus, Pastor Lawri
